Thank you once again MagicTea for lending your expertise in Baraka to us so we can pull off this amazing guide on one of the most underrated characters in the game! You all better let us know if you start ripping through your opponent’s thanks to this guide!
As a Baraka player, I prefer his Berserker variation (Baraka-serker, Blade Charge, and Leg Kabob) since combos aren't really my jam; I love the rush-down, mix-up playstyle it offers
Dude That’s his worst possible variation BF3 is a terrible move, and amplified chop chop does more damage in a basic one bar combo Blade charge is not terrible, but it is just kinda usless unless you want to change sides or break armor Leg kabob should be used with other moves
This is a great variation because of the range it has. Catch unsuspected zoners. I like Blood Lunge+ Leg Kabob it’s pretty fun. And of course good old Gutted+ Blade Charge for big boy damage
Here again to thank you for these excellent guides. Looks like I made it in first! Baraka is underappreciated. I missed him in MKXL and couldn't be happier that he found his way back.
The most fun variation to me is Spine Burst + Leg Kabob + Blade Charge. You can connect blade charge after s1, spine burst if you are anti-airing. Or flawless block, u2, f2, spine burst, blade charge.
Great tutorial that will surely be useful to a large group of people. I am very happy that MagicTea has shown everything you need to know about Baraka. Well done Magic :-)
Excellent guide! Definitely one of the best DashFight videos I've seen to date. I've been picking Baraka up as a secondary and this guide clearly explained his options. Thanks Magic Tea!
Thank you for this great video @MagicTea. I was looking into discovering Baraka as a new character to play in the game and your guide makes it very exciting. You explain very well!
Just found this channel and damn it’s amazing. I look for tips on Baraka and usually it’s stuff that I already know. I learned so much from this one though. Brilliant work guys! Thanks for this one!!
Noob Saibot main from Day one. Picked up Baraka recently, within 10 minutes in practice I can easily pull off 40-50% combos using the gutted launcher and blade charge variation. Baraka mains, what are his weaknesses from your point of view or bad match-ups? So far he seems seriously OP. I cannot see any other variation I would use. Possibly one with leg kabob, beserker and blade charge together. Does anyone use a variation with all of the war banner abilities lol - doesn't look viable for online play
His damage is his only good trait. He has terrible movement(very slow) very Stubby buttons and Meh staggers. He doesn’t have a throw loop. Basically with baraka if you are against someone like kitanna or someone with range like her (frost) you will struggle immensely. It’s so hard to get in but when you are in you do a lot of damage
@@ethanbell5508 Baraka was hit and miss for me, funnily enough I struggled the most against Katana and Johnny Cage, but did well against 'keep-away' people like Skarlet. Ended up re-learning Kotal and he works for me. So at the moment Noob is still my main, Kotal is 2nd (who I play with currently), Baraka/Terminator is my 3rd (backup)! Kotal is so fun to play with and has good damage, even without totems. Suits how I play too
@@kingconrad in my opinion baraka needed slight buffs. The damage doesn’t count for much when it’s so hard to open a good player up. Most good players would just rather get hit by the throw every time then get hit by the auto shimmy and lose 43%
Geras, Sub, Skarlet, Spawn..Kitana, Kabal, Jackie, Kollector...even Scorpion and Raiden can be very annoying to fight. Any characters with fast attacks or range counters Baraka. Also, Baraka gets zoned by half of the characters so he isnt too OP considering that factor+ his movment isnt that great. But overall he hits like a truck and has good recovery plus his combos are fun to pull off. He is in my opinion the best charcter to punish with considering he can get 50%+ with 1 bar. And to add to it since he does massive damage, the slightest mistake you make against a good Baraka will punish you for atleast 40%. His 1 1 2 KB is VERY strong especially in the corner+his F 4 4 is also VERY strong in the corner. With his Gutted×Blade Charge variation, Baraka has the gutted KB (which triggers if its in a combo 8 or more) then Blade Charge armor break KB... thats 4 KBS he has at his finger tips ready to use anytime. Not including his back throw KB and D2 KB😂🤕
Baraka does some big boy damage. Gutted is such a goated special move. Pairing it with Spine Burst (against characters like Jacqui, Fujin, Kabal) or Blade Charge is awesome. I only wish his Blood Lunge had a KB
Weaknesses are low poke or projectile advancing move? His projectiles can be improved with the banner for high damage. Baraka is an example of everything wrong with NRS games
Damn, I was glad to find a (professional?) Baraka tutorial, but I can't make it past 30 seconds with that progressively agitating accent this random dude has. I'll just stick to watching Ninjakilla and learn by observation.
